I have a 1999 Astra 1.8 where the rear drivers-side door does not lock with central locking. I am keen to have a look with my multimeter to see if it's a loose wire or burnt out solenoid but cannot get the interior door panel off. I think it's probably because I can't get the window winder off but can seem to find a way.
Please help!
U shaped clip at the back of it that goes around the spindle.
Can't seem to find the u-shaped clip. Is it close to the end the window winder is attached. What's the easiest way to get it off?
The message from snipped-for-privacy@originenergy.com.au (Elton Judd) contains these words:
It's behind the centre of movement of the handle on the shaft that goes into the door. Push the door card in a bit and you'll see it. Slip it off with a screwdriver.
- and watch it ping off into the undergrowth, never to be found again!

The winder locates onto a splined shaft and is retain by the clip mentioned locating in an annular groove on the shaft. Two ways commonly used to release it.
Refitting. Fit the clip to the handle and push the handle onto the splined shaft. The clip will engage the retaining groove.
